Multi-factor Index ratings

Six evidence bands that reveal the intended job.

Espresso and filter are assessed separately so an excellent specialist is not punished for refusing the wrong job. Bands use published adjustment, dosing, size, price and evidence—not a claimed taste test.

Updated 2026-08-03 · editorial fit ratings, not owner stars or laboratory measurements

Espresso fitVery strong

Brew-range claim and adjustment resolution; not a measured taste score.

Filter fitStrong

Published brew range, burr format and whether filter is the primary design job.

Dosing workflowStrong

Single-dose, timed, auto-stop and direct-to-portafilter convenience.

Counter fitVery strong

Calculated from the published 12.2cm × 21.1cm footprint.

Value contextStrong

Feature fit considered against the checked niche uk direct price, inc. vat.

Evidence confidenceVery strong

Confidence in exact model, UK price, plug, dimensions and manufacturer documentation.

How to read this: these are deliberately broad specification-led bands, not laboratory scores. A machine can be strong for control and limited for speed—or very strong for filter and intentionally limited for espresso.

Index verdict

What the published evidence suggests.

Dose consistency and 72dB are manufacturer-published figures; cup character and retention still need independent verification.

Compact width
Published ±0.2g dose consistency
UK plug option
